Where did you buy Windows Vista and how long ago?
Easy to return retail Windows Vista in North America as long as you have it less than 45 days. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] www3.telus.net/dandemar" >www3.telus.net/dandemar www.dts-l.org" >www.dts-l.org "Michael Yardley" <middleton@mail.org>wrote in message QuoteI was told to buy Vista .It was the worse thing anybody ever told |

How do you know if a MVP posting in the group has paid for his or her copy of Vista? You don't know that unless you work for Microsoft or know a MVP personally. Not "all" software or hardware will function in the Vista environment. Run the Vista Advisor for information. And, yes, you paid for the software so you can certainly bitch about it. As to the store not giving you your money back, did you read the terms of sale agreement for the software? - |

GO Rob a BANK, why? because I told you so...Sheezzzz
How do you know MVP Mike Hall didn't pay for his? Nothing in that thread says anything about him paying or not and has nothing to do with how Vista works on any machine. You want to complain? fire away, but these groups are set up by MS for Peer to Peer help and you will get far better results asking for help. Vista is new, different and a learning cure for many, so calm down and have patience.

You have not told us what type of problems you are experiencing with the OS
on your machine. We don't know if its even software or hardware related. -- Andre Blog: adacosta.spaces.live.com" >adacosta.spaces.live.com My Vista Quickstart Guide: adacosta.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!E8E5CC039D51E3DB!9709.entry" >adacosta.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!E8E5CC039D51E3DB!9709.entry "Michael Yardley" <middleton@mail.org>wrote in message QuoteI was told to buy Vista .It was the worse thing anybody ever told - |

show Vista's build in flaws. You won't know Vista will probably run slower than XP until you install it. You won't know Vista may crawl copying and moving files until you install it. You won't know it spies behind your back phoning home constantly considering users that have paid for Vista, registered and activated as potential thieves in spite of all that. Such things you find out AFTER THE FACT and no dumb as dirt fanboy or butt kissing MVP will tell you. Kind of easy to learn why the fanboy mob tries to silence me, I tell the truth, they're full of sh*t. QuoteHow do you know if a MVP posting in the group has paid for his or her copy software? I can't be bought. Another reason I'm not liked here. Why should anyone trust some apologist that gets handed $$$$$$ of free software? Quote
once you start to install Vista. QuoteAnd, yes, you paid for the software so nitwit while pretending to be an expert. You can't read the license UNTIL you've started to install Vista. Then you can't take it back to where you bought it. Its too damn easy to kick fanboys and MVP's in their big dumb asses, all you need it a few facts. - |

QuoteI was told to buy Vista .It was the worse thing anybody ever told I have to agree, we easily forget that a) investigating problems is a hobby and b) we don't have to pay for an OS to play with so most can afford a 2nd machine to break occasionally and then figure out how to fix it. We rarely get that "Oh hell" moment when something goes irreversibly wrong and then there's all the pain and hassle of setting things up again. (Of course something like Acronis can do the same if you want to follow a good backup regime). What would you prefer to do? Try again to get Vista working properly, go back to something else (XP?) or something completely different? - |

Vista is very bad. And the MVPs in here are Idiots.
In here you will get mostly stupid replies from fanboys attacking you because you had the courage to stand up to the system that wants to gobble everything up. There are a few people in here that warn against using vista .... all you had to do was ask a question in this newsgroup.. you would get their opinions also.

middleton@mail.org says... QuoteI was told to buy Vista .It was the worse thing anybody ever told causes problems with many applications and does not run near as fast as XP on the same hardware - in fact, on most hardware that worked well with XP, Vista runs very much slower. Every machine I've tested with the Vista adviser tool as passed with flying colors, and still it runs like crap. I have a very nice Dual Xeon 3ghz machine, 3GB RAM, 128MB Video card, Dual 250GB Mirrored (hardware) Drives, etc... Under XP Prof or even Windows 2003 Server it screams and does everything very quickly, under vista it crawls and is just unpleasant. No, you didn't say where you bought Vista or what version. Many stores have a no-return policy for software, it IS up to you to check on a return policy before you make a purchase. Making a purchase without knowing the return policy means you eat the price if it doesn't work out. -- Leythos - Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum. - Calling an illegal alien an "undocumented worker" is like calling a drug dealer an "unlicensed pharmacist" spam999free@rrohio.com (remove 999 for proper email address) - |
